What NHTSA recorded

Land rover is recalling 19,168 my 2003-2005 range rover vehicles. The front differential coupling sleeve and the propeller shaft may be misaligned, resulting in spline wear over a period of time. As the wear between the propeller shaft and the differential spline coupling progresses, noise and vibration are expected.

Possible consequence

Continued vehicle operation can eventually result in the splines shearing and a loss of drive, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will install a revised design of the propeller shaft, the flange kit and heat shield kit. The recall began on january 6, 2009. Owners may contact land rover at 1-800- 637-6837.
